Oh shit, here I go....
Jazz is not Kenny G. (praise the lord and hallelujah ... and pass me a loaded gun).
The reason I pointed our friend DD Dave towards Miles Davis is because the man was a) a genius b) broke every farking rule in the book to date at the time and.. c) was a total lunatic and mold shattering precursor to many of our friends and icons today.
Call me a punter... (all together now.. PUNTER!) ...if only for elongating this non-topic thread. However, most of us who admire the likes of say Michael Schenker can appreciate Bach (Johann) as well. For one listen to both makes it obvious the lineage.
Country (pronounced "Cunt-Ray) on the other hand is a cesspool of half digested tripe and I simply could not agree more. Please pass the puke bucket... ta! "Fark" ... yes I say "fouk" the delta blues lineage with country..... it simply sucks the business end of a mop in my humble opinion and deserves no further comment. Besides... I am thoroughly convinced that Garth Brooks is nothing more than a yodeling thumb with a hat.
I too had teachers like yours. Erectile dysfuncional twits who insisted that musical progression stopped in 1962 and our like were simply the unwashed and seminally retarded who did not deserve their bad breath on our necks during their solfege classes.
However.... ( he said adjusting his specs and farting loudly from the podium)... we must not fall into the same trap as those balding, nostrel mining professors who treated our passions and ourselves so horridly in the past. For if we do dear friends... we are no better than they.
BUT... ya' STILL should take it to another board, mate!
